Kihwal Lee commented on HADOOP-7472:
------------------------------------
bq. How does MAPREDUCE-1824 relate to this one?
The major use case is that the cluster is restarted after an name node address
change, but it's always easy to restart the clients outside the cluster. One of
the examples is a inter-cluster data management system built on top of distcp.
In this case, the distcp map jobs should continue to work and this requires
proper handling of delegation tokens. Without it, this work cannot support
major use cases.
> RPC client should deal with the IP address changes

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ipc

> Reporter: Kihwal Lee

>
> The current RPC client implementation and the client-side callers assume that
> the hostname-address mappings of servers never change. The resolved address
> is stored in an immutable InetSocketAddress object above/outside RPC, and the
> reconnect logic in the RPC Connection implementation also trusts the resolved
> address that was passed down.
> If the NN suffers a failure that requires migration, it may be started on a
> different node with a different IP address. In this case, even if the
> name-address mapping is updated in DNS, the cluster is stuck trying old
> address until the whole cluster is restarted.
> The RPC client-side should detect this situation and exit or try to recover.
> Updating ConnectionId within the Client implementation may get the system
> work for the moment, there always is a risk of the cached address:port become
> connectable again unintentionally. The real solution will be notifying upper
> layer of the address change so that they can re-resolve and retry or
> re-architecture the system as discussed in HDFS-34.
> For 0.20 lines, some type of compromise may be acceptable. For example, raise
> a custom exception for some well-defined high-impact upper layer to do
> re-resolve/retry, while other will have to restart. For TRUNK, the HA work
> will most likely determine what needs to be done. So this Jira won't cover
> the solutions for TRUNK.
